Dawn Estes is once, twice, three times a Leading Lawyer. 

For a third consecutive year, our founding partner has been selected to the Lawdragon Leading Lawyers in America list, adding 2026 to previous recognitions in 2024 and 2025. 

Dawn is one of 23 attorneys on the nationwide list rated by Lawdragon for excellence in commercial litigation and one of eight Dallas-Fort Worth lawyers recognized in that category.  

Leading Lawyers is Lawdragon’s flagship list among the more than 20 practice group legal guides it publishes annually. The company describes this year’s honorees as “advocates who lead the way for clients, their communities, their firms. They are brilliant, impassioned and dedicated to the law and its practice.” 

Frankly, it’s hardly a surprise to see Dawn held in such high esteem, given the daily excellence she consistently displays. But it’s certainly a great way to start another year of service for her clients and her profession. 

Congratulations, Dawn!
